Paper Bird - 2310 lyrics

Roll up your sleeves, there's work to do
'Cause the sand's blocking the drains
But keep your ears shut or
It will talk to you
And we don't need accusations
We know there's dried blood on the stairs
It keeps telling those stories I
Don't want to hear anymore

I startle every time the heating goes on
And I jump out of bed
When the storm gets stronger
What did you really buy those wind chimes for
When every time they start to jingle
I think someone's at the front door

They always come back around
The ghosts of the past
They hunt me down all the time

I remember selling something for a
Handful of glass beads
And now I'm an invaded country
With a ghost town inside of me
But, it's nothing like in the movies
Or on a theme park ride
Don't you dare to laugh or it
Won't let you sleep tonight

And they're building factories in my head
Oh, they rattle and pound all along
That's why my hands are shaking when
I try to hold on
And don't try to stop the nosebleed
Nothing will fix me as long as I don't come
To terms with something
That's always gonna trick me

And it always comes back around
The ghosts of the past
They hunt me down all the time
And it always comes back around
The ghosts of the past
They hunt me down all the time
And it always comes back around
The ghosts of the past
They hunt me down all the time
